Since the day they were introduced to the Cleveland fans and media, the new decision-makers in Berea (Joe Banner, Michael Lombardi and Jimmy Haslam) have sent a fairly consistent message about what to expect early on under their guidance of Cleveland’s most-beloved sports franchise. (more…)

Now that the draft is over and the dust has settled, for the most part, I attempt to address some of my prevailing thoughts and concerns as the team prepares for its mandatory mini-camp. (more…)
Oh My God! The Browns shot their eye out!!

I needed a day to decompress. A day to process. To give adequate and rational thought to the Browns 2013 Draft before I attempted to analyze it. I knew that when I woke up Sunday morning with a feeling of dissatisfaction, and of disappointment, it wasn’t necessarily appropriate. It didn’t feel right. It felt petty. It was a visceral reaction. Like not getting everything you asked for on Christmas even though you still got some pretty cool stuff. Or like the feeling of coming home from vacation and having to go to work the next day. Just bummed. Deflated.

With the draft just over two weeks away, it is still almost impossible to predict who the Cleveland Browns will pick, or which way they are leaning. But this could be a good thing for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it increases the trade value of the pick…but that’s if they want to trade. If they stand pat, predicting the Browns pick remains difficult because there is no clear cut consensus number one overall pick. While most mock drafts have Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel being selected number one overall, it is not a done deal. (more…)

It’s April. That means baseball, rain, and more importantly (to us at least), the NFL Draft. The excitement of Free Agency went from frenzy to fizzle in surprisingly short order as big names signed early and lesser-knowns took one year deals largely due to the buyer’s market that was so prevalent this year.
